Secrets

 * 1) Before entering the ATA room, there is a switch in the northeast corner of the room, past the spiral staircase. Press this switch and run to the nearby hall (that leads to the cafeteria full of zombiemen) to spot a computer area map. (sector 134)
 * 2) When you reach the ATA room, go around the queue line to the counter to find a berserk pack. (sector 633)
 * 3) Go southeast of the ATA room where Secret #2 is to find a room with a lot of cubicles. Enter the western one of the eastern set to spot a button with Security Vault written on the desk nearby. Hit this button, then quickly run back to the big room before the ATA room to find that the cage with the plasma gun is open. (sector 109) Quickly enter and grab the gun and the energy cell packs.
 * 4) Once you collect the blue key, return to the beginning of the spiral staircase near the start of the map and use the keyboard (it requires the blue key). A megaarmor will appear behind you on the pad. (sector 2463)
 * 5) Outside, go up the big lift to the blue door, but instead of using it, go south around the corner. You will find rockets, a rocket launcher, and a stimpack in the back alley. (sector 2460) However, if you are playing on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower, there won't be anything in this alley.

Bugs
A multiplayer-only revenant (Thing 60) in the northern monster cache has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level.
